The government today announced a massive operation to detain and deport undocumented workers.
“Within three to four months the whole Malé will be cleaned,” said the Minister of Defence and National Security Mohamed Nazim – also in charge of the Immigration Department.
“They can’t live in Malé. When I say this, it will happen – I am not just saying it.”
Nazim told media the government is planning a “very strong operation” to reduce the number of undocumented migrant workers in Maldives “for the safety and security of everyone and for the economy”.
